Citigroup Center Discussion

--Purpose--

We will meet in the food court near the pay phones. You will know it is us because we will be handing out Save Hotel Penn fliers and possibly stickers. If someones says its a "2600 Meeting" then you are at the right place, because we are going to be using a friend's meeting space to discuss about Save Hotel Penn, many of which these "2600 Meeting" people are also interested in our cause.

We will discuss the upcoming full board meeting at FIT on November 8th, ideas for promoting our selfs and if or not we should hold a strike in front of the Hotel Penn to give more direct public awareness of our cause!

See you all there! Bring ideas and full of spirit!

--Directions--

The easiest way by far for most people in the area to get to Citigroup is to take the subway.

From Pennsylvania (commonly known as Penn) Station, and from the New York City Port Authority, the E train is quickest and easiest. Just hop on an uptown (meaning northbound - uptown means North and downtown means South) E train, and get off at the Lexington Avenue station.

Lexington Avenue Subway Station exits right underneath the Citigroup building, just outside the doors, in their small outdoor corner patio thing. You exit the station, and you?re standing at the front doors. It couldn?t be simpler!

From Grand Central Station, take the uptown 6 train just one stop to the Lexington Avenue station. Or, just walk one block East to Lexington Avenue, and then eight blocks uptown (North) on Lexington Avenue, and you?ll reach 53rd and Lexington. Citigroup is the corner with wide stairs leading downward into a cut-out corner of the building.

--Important Notices--

Due to the building?s landmark status(landmark status is our first goal for Hotel Penn), its occupation by a large financial institution, and the current political climate, there are security tables with airline-style x-ray tables set up. These are used to x-ray bags as people enter the food court. Keep in mind as you pack your bags for the day, they will be x-rayed, and they may ask you to open your bag and show the contents.

The security staff also forbids photography inside the building. If the security guards see you taking a photo, they will likely tell you to stop. Whether or not they have the right to do this is debatable, and answers are currently being sought through the proper channels. Until we are sure of our rights to photograph inside the lobby, we will follow this rule.
